    AbstractThe Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA-2) system has been established as a safe and reliable device to harvest large amounts of autograft. Nevertheless, hardware complications may occur. Breakage of the reamer head from the drive shaft with intramedullary retention of small metal debris has never been dealt with. The authors provide a technical trick as a bailout in this difficult situation.Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
